came across a problem today when i went to bleed them, because the bleed nipple is at the front whn mounted on an sj axle instead of near the top when mounted to a vit.
Air gets trapped in the top of the caliper so you need to take the caliper off, wedge a bit of wood in there and bleed them with the nipple at the top, going to do this on wed night so i will take a few pics.

Drums on the front of a 410????? must be an early one! i'm guessing they have the same set up as the LJs then??? in that case here is a write up!

The calipers and discs i have used are of a 91 swb 1.6 8v vit, however any vitara brakes should fit.
Oh and Andy, Malie lives in Brunai, dont think you'll be wanting to ship a complete Axle there
it might be a bit expensive
